WALES wing Hal Luscombe is expected to miss the summer tour of North America.

The 24-year-old Dragons powerhouse - who started the Six Nations wins over England and Italy - is likely to need an operation on the problem, which is linked to the hamstring strain that ruled him out of the Grand Slam clincher against Ireland.

"Hal is having a second opinion," said Dragons team manager Jim McCreedy.

"We should know more later in the week. He had an operation on his knee a while back to have it pinned, but it looks like he will need a second operation."
